MANTTAI FOR NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS. 161 



principles explained in pars. 386 and 387, except that the com- 

 mands 3. Forward, 4. MARCH, are omitted and each element 

 continues the march in the new direction, upon completion of 

 the turn, unless the commands : 3. Squad, 4. HALT, are given. 

 The guide of a four in the turn is always No. 2 ; the guide of a 

 two the right trooper. 



390. Where only a slight change in the direction of march is 

 desired, it is habitually accomplished by leading without any 

 special connnand or signal therefor. The leader mav caution : 

 INCLINE TO THE RIGHT (LEFT). The execution of this 

 movement, like that of the turn, is a special case of leading 

 applied to the march in line. The leader slightly alters the 

 direction of march, the guide conforms to the leader's move- 

 ments, and the other 



troopers conform to the /'" ""'^-.^ 



movements of the guide. ^ ^^=>- -czr=>- ~<zz~=^ -^

 (left), 2. MARCH. 



The fours move simul- 

 taneously, each executing Fig. 39, par. .391. 

 right turn and taking up 



the march in the new direction (par. 3S9). No. 2 of the four 

 on the liank toward which the movement is executed is. the 

 guide upon whom the other Nos. 2 regulate during the move- 

 ment (par. 326), as well as the guide of the resulting column 

 (par. 374). The leader promptly takes position in front of 

 the guide (par. 32.5). Gaits are regulated as in par. 337-r7. 



The movement dismounted ' is executed on the same prin- 

 ciples except that No. 2 of each four regulates his step and 

 path as indicated for the dismounted turn (pars. 386, 387). 

 (Fig. 33.) 



392. Column of twos is not formed directly to a flank from 

 line. Column of twos may be formed to the )ront as explained 

 in pars. 393 and 403, and the head of the column be at once 

 marched in any desired direction. The same principle regu- 

 lates the formation of column of troopers to a flank.
